A Simple Plan by Scott Smith  

This book is compelling and full of suspense. It has a gruesome criminal plot that just keeps growing.

House of the Whispering Winds by Elizabeth McCrae  

This book was from 1966! But still a great mystery with a little romance. It did keep you reading.

Thirteen by Tom Hoyle  

This book is a suspenseful thriller with villains, heroes, and an unending amount of bravery.

Winterkill (Winterkill #1) by Kate A. Boorman  
A really good book with a good plot, mystery, suspense, but I didn’t like the ending. Too many questions left unanswered.

A History of Glitter and Blood by Hannah Moskowitz  
Good, fast-moving plot with complex but likeable characters. Lots of action – I found myself pulling for the characters.

Buried by Kate Watterson  
This book had two mysteries in one, although one of them was personal for Ellie, a homicide detective. Great read!

Judgement (Cassidy & Spenser #1) by Carey Baldwin   
I enjoyed this e-book. It is part of a series, so I will want to read more.

Cold Betrayal (Alison Reynolds #10) by J A Jance   
I am a big fan of J A Jance. This book does not disappoint. I could not put it down. She weaves several plots successfully.

Tin God (Delta Crossroads Trilogy #1) by Stacy Green   
I really liked this book. Several plot twists near the end really surprised me.

Dear Departed by Enes Smith   
This book was hard to put down. The author was excellent at putting teasers at the end of each chapter to keep you reading.

Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis by Barbara Leaming   
A very insightful book on Jackie Kennedy. She has a very “wordy” writing style.

Overlay: A Tale of One Girl’s Life in 1970 Las Vegas by Marlayna Glynn Brown   
This heartbreaking story tells of the life of a young girl and her dysfunctional alcoholic parents in 1970’s Las Vegas. That she survives is a tribute to the human spirit.

What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty   
I really like the way the author writes. There are a lot of twists and different view points. This particular book really made me think about how I would feel if I lost 10 yrs of memory.

The Selection (Selection #1) by Kiera Cass   
This is a series and I read through this book quickly so I could hear the rest of the story. Very captivating and interesting love story.

The Elite (Selection #2) by Kiera Cass    

I was so excited to get into the second book and as usual the 2nd seems to drag – only a little! I loved the end and in turn was digging into the third.

The One (Selection #3) by Kiera Cass    

Loved how this book had lots of suspense and twists. This isn’t how I thought it would end the Selection so I enjoyed the twist.

The Heir (Selection #4) by Kiera Cass   

Found out there was a 4th book to the Selection series. This is a two book series in itself and 2nd one doesn’t come out until May 2016. Book was entertaining enough but not as good as the 1st part of series. Another Selection process but girl has an attitude!

The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks   
Really loved the love story of the young couple and kind of wanted to skip the other story but as I read on I loved how they came together.

The Heart’s Frontier (Amish of Apple Grove #1) by Lori Copeland & Virginia Smith 

Entertaining and nice to see 2 very different lifestyles work together.

Double Cross (FBI: Houston #2) by DiAnn Mills 

Interesting story. Makes you wonder how often this happens in real life.

Great story about friendship and helping others.

The Secret Keeper (Home to Hickory Hollow #4) by Beverly Lewis 

Really made me think about living the Amish life and sacrifices they make.

Excellent story. Full of suprises.

Confessions of a Shopaholic (Shopaholic #1) by Sophie Kinsella  

Easy read. Relatable while thinking no one can be that dumb.

Shopaholic Takes Manhattan (Shopaholic #2) by Sophie Kinsella 

Easy read. Relatable.

Shopaholic Ties the Knot (Shopaholic #3) by Sophie Kinsella 

Gives you a glimpse of the ultimate dream wedding with what every bride wants. Jumps around, doesn’t flow well.

Shopaholic & Sister (Shopaholic #4) by Sophie Kinsella – 

Can two sisters be more opposite?

Shopaholic & Baby (Shopaholic #5) by Sophie Kinsella 

The book should be pregnancy, not baby, since the baby isn’t born.

Shopaholic to the Stars (Shopaholic #7) by Sophie Kinsella 

The book doesn’t have a clean ending. There is no big shopping or crisis. Very choppy.

Submerged (Alaskan Courage #1) by Dani Pettrey     

The writing didn’t flow as well with this one. It was my least favorite of the series, but could be because of diving and caves. Not a lover of underwater stories.

Shattered (Alaskan Courage #2) by Dani Pettrey     

Enjoyed this sister in the series. Kept me wanting to read longer than I should have. Her faith in her brother took courage. Well written.

Stranded (Alaskan Courage #3) by Dani Pettrey     

Very well written. Kept me guessing. The ending was a bit rushed, but was OK.

Silenced (Alaskan Courage #4) by Dani Pettrey     

Good book – kept me guessing who was behind the crime.

Sabotaged (Alaskan Courage #5) by Dani Pettrey     

Best written of the series. She kept me guessing who the mastermind behind it. Liked the other family members were included in the story.

False Pretenses (Secrets of Roux River Bayou #1) by Kathy Herman

One of my favorite authors. Keeps you on the edge of your seat. #3 of the series. [It's actually the first book of the series] If you like Christian suspense – a great author to read.
